    Hello,
    The email field is the only mandatory field in the Lead Capture Form, and if it's not filled in there is a warning and the message is not sent. How can I make the other fields mandatory as well (name, contact number, message)?

    Hi Gourav,
    Website is: www.homespecialistsinc.com
    I often receive leads from the Leads Capture form that are not filled out so I need to make all the fields mandatory. I would also like to consider adding address fields.

    Thanks,
    Steve

    Hi Gourav,
    I downloaded version Local Business theme v.1.7.5 as you suggested and it had the same result. However, I found the cause is front-page.php in my child theme. I had made a change per instructions from Nitesh last year because I was looking for a way to set Alt-tag for images on the home page slider and he recommended this change: http://www.inkthemes.com/community/...or-home-page-and-other-pages.2748/#post-10480.

    I guess the problem with child themes is that if the software developer makes changes to the .php file used in the child theme, then the child theme doesn't get the changes. How can this situation be managed?

    Thanks, Steve

    I just found out that when filling out the form from an iPad the requirements are ignored. In other words if you submit a completely blank form it is sent to my email (still need to enter the Captcha Sum).

    Would you look into this and let me know what to do?

    Thanks.
